Bruges is back for a week and we are going to work on some boundaries and structure while he’s here.  Specifically kennel behavior and his recall.  It’s never too late or the wrong time to set the intention with your dog.  Carve out the time and you will see the changes but it does take time and commitment.  I’m working with Bruges on being in his kennel in a relaxed state but also working with him that we don’t leave the kennel in an excited state.  How can you do this?  Have your dog go in the kennel, get them in a down stay, shut the door for a few moments, open the door and then allow them to come out.  If they get hyper/excited the minute you open the door, start over.  This is NOT the way a dog should exit a kennel.  Repetition creates boundaries and structure.  Boundaries and structure create a confident dog!

I’m not in this feed much, and rightfully so, but I feel so lucky that I get to call this a “job”. Happy Sunday, friends!
